Flat roof survey in Hartley Wintney
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. We record the condition with photos so work can be planned and budgeted. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so it helps if you call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. If you’ve noticed loose or cracked edge trims and pools of water lying on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on upstands and outlets, mastic asphalt and EPDM rubber alike.
Flat roofs in smaller places like Hartley Wintney can be more exposed, particularly where nothing shelters them, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for. Standing water that lingers for days after rain is another sign worth watching for.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Hartley Wintney questions
Is Hartley Wintney within the area you cover?
Yes, Hartley Wintney is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hartley Wintney?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
Can you tell me how long my flat roof will last?
There is no honest way to give an exact number of years. Typical ranges are around 15 to 20 years for felt, 30 to 50 for EPDM and up to about 30 for GRP, but your report describes the actual condition.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
How do I book a survey in Hartley Wintney?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Standing water a day or two after rain usually needs attention. It could be the outlets, the falls or a deflecting deck. The survey looks at each and records the likely cause.
Flat roof surveys in Hartley Wintney: local notes
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Anyone responsible for a site like Greenfields Junior School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. The streets around a church such as St John's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Hartley Wintney

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Hartley Wintney?
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. People usually call us when a leak appears, before a purchase, or when the roof may be near the end of its life.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cracked or split membrane
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
Landlords with a home close to Winchfield station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Choosing a roof surveyor

- What the survey won’t cover
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Useful tips for Hartley Wintney property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It explains the covering, its condition and every defect, and what we recommend. Turnaround is within 48 hours for a Basic Survey, 24 to 48 hours for a Standard Survey and the same day for a Premium Survey.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. A flat roof that’s looked after between surveys usually lasts longer.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Hartley Wintney is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass
Movement in the deck or a thin layer of resin can lead to cracks in GRP. We record any cracking and any signs of the deck moving.
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt roofs are common on older flats, walkways and commercial buildings. We look for crazing, cracks, blisters and splits at the skirtings.
